Learn about the .1uF (100nF) Through Hole Ceramic Capacitor

The power pins of the AVR may experience interference from time to time. It is advised to add a decoupling capacitor across the VCC and GND pins of the AVR microcontroller. If the capacitor is locat...

A capacitor is used to smooth the rectified waveform. The capacitor charges as the voltage rises and holds that charge and the next pass of the current raises the charge of the capacitor and this kee...
